About this title

Synopsis

An illuminating account of contemporary civilizations from one of France's greatest post-war historians

Written from a consciously anti-ethnocentric approach, this fascinating work is a survey of the civilizations of the modern world in terms of the broad sweep and continuities of history, rather than the "event-based" technique of most other texts.

A History of Civilizations examines the Muslim world, Africa, the Far East, Western Europe (from the fall of the Roman Empire to political union), Eastern Europe, the European civilizations of the New World, and "the English-speaking universe."

About the Author

Fernand Braudel was France's foremost post-war historian. He is best known for The Mediterranean in the Age of Philip II, Civilization and Capitalism and The Identity of France. Richard Mayne is a renowned translator of French. His other translations include Monet's Memoirs.
